Hi Giles

i will try...gimme some time.I stoped working on this,cause i got no feedback...so nobody seems to be interested.And whyvshouldbi do something...nobidy wants?

I see that one.

 

I’m not sure whether the low interest was caused by everyone waiting for everyone else, no-one liking PacLand, or just better times for doing 7800-games, or whatever.

 

I’ve been attempting to train myself in grfx using only 2 frames, 3 colours, etc; 8-bit limitations.

 

Some here have shown interest, others say PacLand is no-like, and suggested doing a complete novel game.

All feed is welcome.

Are into doing graphics, sound, music or programming (say for the 7800

or 5200, or just PC-coding, for that matter)?

neither, I'm just a lonely mechanical engineer! lol

Judging by the video above, we're more than half-way there with the Crystal Quest engine...  Most of the things done in that video can already be done with that engine.

Hi

@PacManPlus

 

Thanks for your inputs now and again on this thread!

 

But some people (just a few) a wondered if a completely novel game-franchise would be better.

 

If the general atmosphere here would go in that direction, is the Bentley Bear Crystal Quest - engine still something its ok for you that we use, for say a novel platformer?

 

I just wanted to ask.

 

kind Regards,

Giles,

Just personal taste. Even watching the 16bit systems play this it looks blah.. Does not look high on the fun factor to me.. 

I see yourself and others like it and are putting work into it so that is cool to see.  One thing tho is make sure you have a programmer who wants to make the game before putting too much effort in. Unless you want a Bentley graphics hack as the outcome. 

 

 

Hmm, how many versions have you played (arcade, ports...)?   (just curious & and would like feedback).

 

Is it very different from Mario as to gameplay...??

I’m ... so ... hopelessly bad at using softwares...., but as to your question;if we are to get more skill - through the process of learning, attempting and failure- ; to learn or not to learn..., learning has its’ own value. We won’t get better at anything, unless we get actual experience!

Thanks!

 

Do I need to ‘cram it’ horizontally to be used because the pixel-ratio, or can use the posted pictures?

[Giles N]

Crammed^

@gambler172

Are you able to mirror sprites using software, or must all sprites be redrawn mirrored...?

[Giles N]

mirrored n’ crammed
